even if they both "consent" there's no way of knowing if one wasn't groomed into it. it's abusive either way

One of my professors gave us an assignment and literally told us to use gen ai to generate a response to a prompt. I said oh that’s not

I dont abide by that thinking. Either you believe sexuality is binary or you believe it is complex and the orientations that exist within it are complex. Every str8 identified man is not going to have the same experience but that does not contradict their heterosexuality.

Absolutely not but the more subversive question is do you believe attraction is determined by the sexual anatomy of a person? or do you recognize that attraction is more complex than someone’s anatomy? Trans women are women period but it seems when we introduce genitalia into the conversation regarding trans women, ppl always seem to ask, “How can a man be str8 if he engages with someone who has a penis?” attraction to a woman who happens to have a penis is not equivalent to attraction to a man and we need to acknowledge that, when this conversation comes up I feel some ppl use it as a way to reduce trans women to their anatomy rather than recognizing their other characteristics and seeing them as women. That str8 man may be attracted to that trans woman’s femininity, physical appearance, her gender expression etc her genitalia may not even be a factor in that attraction.

Is that it? I’m looking for the entire scope of your ethical principles with this.

Each image generated today doesn’t use genuine world-ending amounts of energy to power it. So I’d imagine on that exclusion you’d have no issue with images today?

I actually do think human life is more important than a zoo animal. It’s all “oh I’m glad the tiger’s safe” and not enough “I’m horrified that we didn’t take the necessary action to stop a tiger from mauling a mentally unwell person to death”

I am slowly learning that the people enthralled by gen AI and "what it can do" are the same people who do not understand or care about the labour it takes to make something, be it a book or a song or a piece of art

Restrooms are absolutely for changing out menstrual hygiene products. Would you like someone to change their tampon in the middle of the store aisle? Or in the middle of the waiting room at the doctors office?

so where am i supposed to change my tampon the middle of the store?

where else would you do it if not the restroom

yeah because tampons have a different purpose you dumb fuck

If you don’t understand how a calculator and an LLM differ, you are lost and will never get technology

And who gave it those tools? Who failed to air-gap the test environment? Who left the DNS open in the test environment? The very same company that keeps telling the public "the LLM did XYZ all on its own and we cant stop it"

Because if nobody has ever actually done a thing to even an intermediate level, then nobody truly understands that thing. A good systems designer at least has done some coding to be able to understand what they're designing.
